The fifth edition of the 5810 European GNSS Agency’s (GSA) 2017 GNSS Market Report offers a comprehensive look at the global GNSS market, providing an analysis per market segment (location-based services (LBS), road transportation, aviation, maritime, rail, agriculture, surveying and timing and synchronisation), region and application type, including information on shipments, revenues and installed device base.
                       
In the road sector, according to the report, European GNSS, including Galileo and EGNOS, significantly reduces congestion and CO2 pollution. It also improves the efficiency of road transportation by providing navigation guidance, fleet management and traffic monitoring.

It also indicates that the continued evolution of autonomous vehicles represents a huge opportunity for European GNSS. Along with other technologies, GNSS provides the answer to these vehicles’ need for accurate positioning and reliable localisation.

Other key trends identified by the Market Report include EU legislation, including the eCall initiative, which is expected to boost shipments of GNSS devices, while the emergence of the Mobility as a Service concept will bring with it new business models and opportunities.

    Every year in America cost benefit analysis is carried out on dozens of ITS installations and pilot studies and the findings, along with the lessons learned, are entered into the Department of Transportation’s (USDOT’s) web-based ITS Knowledge Resources database. This database holds more than 1,600 reports and periodically the USDOT reviews the material on file to draw conclusions from this wider body of evidence. It has just published one such review ITS Benefits, Costs, and Lessons Learned: 2014 Update Re

  • New services and equipment helps cities tackle air quality issues
    September 19, 2017
    With poor urban air quality shortening lives and fines being imposed for breaching pollution limits, authorities are seeking ways to clean up their cities. Poor air quality is topping the agenda for city authorities across the globe. In the UK, for example, a report from the Royal Colleges of Physicians and of Paediatrics and Child Health, concluded that poor outdoor air quality shortens the lives of around 40,000 people a year – principally by undermining the health of people with heart and/or lung prob
